TRIPOLI—An air strike hit a detention center for mainly African migrants in a suburb of the Libyan capital Tripoli late on July 2, killing at least 44 people and wounding more than 130, the U.N. mission to Libya said.
It was the highest publicly reported toll from an air strike or shelling since eastern forces under Khalifa Haftar launched a ground and aerial offensive three months ago to take Tripoli, the base of Libya’s internationally recognized government.
